THURSDAY, QCTpBER_2S, 195! Harriers Face Toughest Test at Army Tomorrow Penn State’s unbeaten.cross country team faces its toughest dual ‘ meet testfof the season tomorrow when it runs Army on the Hudson hills at West Point. In this, the Lions’ first dual meet with Army in the 19 years since Chick Werner has been coaching here, the Nittany squad will be | .running on an unfriendly courseVf o r the first time .this season, / The fact that the Lions will ' be running an unfamiliar course coupled with the more important? ' fact that Army has one of the East’s best harrier squads places „ Penn State’s nine straight, dual, win record in jeopardy, ; Shea Paces Cadets ' Led by Intercollegiate cross country and'two'mile champion 4 Dick Shea, the Cadets have run up four successive wins this sea son. They all were decisive vie ' tories, Army, definitely stronger than / last fall when it finished runner up to ' the Intercollegiate cham pion' Lions, will meet a .Nittany ' squad which at the season’s open didn’t figure to be tod strong but , which has. already' been as im pressive .. as the 19 5 0 nat jpnal champions. '> ' The Lions, with a combination of veterans and surprisingly good first year varsity men, haye been ' steadily improving. This improve ment was most noticeable in the , drubbing handed Michigan State last. week. Then the first five men ran faster collectively than ' any Penn State team in history. Coach. Chick Werner has nom inated seven runners to get the ' Lions over this “hdmp” meet of their , dual season. , Ash Heads List - Heading the list is Bill Ashen felter. Last week lanky Bill y reached his topnotch -1950 form <’ for the first time this year. His 25:49.7 five miles was the second <■ fastest time of his life. Bill’s 25:40 against. Manhattan last fall was the only faster x-country race he • had run; Captain Dud Foster, Lamont Smith, Red Hollen and Jack Hor ' ner are ready for the Cadets after their times of 26:26 against, the , Spartans. Foster, Hollen and Hor ner finished the race with a ter rific kick to tie for fourth in an ' extraordinarily fast, time for fifth men on the team. , By going as fast as 26:26, Smitty ran faster than any Penn State frosh had ever done before. ' Freshman Jim Hamill also will • make the trip" to the Point on ( the strength of a 26:32 sixth place ' finish which was practically un noticed in the -wake of the un , usual .Nittany display of power. It was Jim’s first varsity race of "his life. > ' Rounding out the State squad which seeks to bring , back the ( 10th straight dual win since 1949, •is Pete Sarantopoulos. / . Since the Pitt race which he 'never finished, Pete, has shown a marked improvement. Against , Cornell “pop” tied for seventh' m 27:48 and versus the Spartans Pete trimmed his time down to ,27:08. '• I Lions Strategy Undecided An interesting question which .arises concerning, the meet is whether dr not State will , try to beat Dick ' Shea or concentrate •on running as a team in an attempt to win the meet—which is far more important than beat 'mg ,an individual. The powerful Cadet funner usually runs a full minute bet ter than his teammates at the f ™sh even though he may stay \ with his team three-fifth of the way. His success formula is a tremendous closing kick even if ,he has already gone three or four miles. This kick makes the-Army Pony Express’ virtually unbeat-! .able in college competition. If Coach Werner should try to beat Shea, he will probably in struct either Bill Ash or Smitty to make the attempt.' Educated Toe * Great ends usually win ball games for their team by snaring, passes. Bob Carey, Michigan State s giant pride and joy, has done his , share of this,-too, but .two of, State’s most memorable victories were achieved through his educated toe. .Against Notre 'Dame m 1950 he kicked a field goal , and three points-after-touch .hown in the Spartans’ 36-33 win. This season against-Ohio State he exactly duplicated the feat as-the < Spartans won 24-20. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
